Bandersnatch 3/31/2021

Leave a comment

Q: Beach

Disclaimer Given

Seven pax turned out, including guest Sunshine from out of town.

Warmup: Sidestraddle Hops, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Copperhead Squats, Bat Wings. Some mumble chatter and facial anguish was observed during Bat Wings.

The Thang: Interactive workout inspired by the movie Bandersnatch. Pax determine what the workout will be. Mosey to the beach. Two lines drawn in the sand. Repeated sprints from one line to the other. Fastest pax to the other line determines the exercise and reps. Each time you are the fastest pax, you increase your sprint handicap by one burpee. Exercises chosen by pax were Bat Wings, Monkee Humpers, Copperhead Squats, Lunges, Chilcutt Peter Parkers, 1 minute Plank, Merkens, Bear Crawls, Nipplers, Burpees, Mike Tysons, Sidestraddle Hops, Don Quixotes, and Groiners. This may not be a complete list, as Q’s memory relies upon an aging brain. Mosey back to flag.

COT, Counterama, Namerama. Quote from Theodore Roosevelt was read. Announcements: DPR wins the month of March prize for posting to every workout in March (challenge and prize initiated and provided by Cleveland Rocks). The Murph Challenge is coming up, on Memorial Day.

Leaving Early: The Unknown FNG

Leave a comment

11 strong đź’Ş this morning including FNG Stone Cold. Weather was amazing. The field this time was not frozen solid or even damp like in prior winter beatdowns. Spring is here and we are going to love it.

This was a new one for us. And one we could have done better at addressing. We had an FNG today leave mid-workout. We were doing laps on the track and no one was near him and he just left. Next time this happens one of us will try to catch up with the FNG to chat with them.

Disclaimer given.

Run Lap
10 Tea Pot
20 Moroccan Night Clubs
30 Seal Jacks
40 on you side – leg things… 20 each side
50 LBCs 
Run Lap

Bear crawl to center field & Circle up

In Cadence – Q starts – count goes to the right.  Once you reach the end of your rope do a lap. Two ways to end it all:  One person is left doing exercise or if the 3rd to last person returns from their lap (IE there are two left) it’s over.  Call recover.  Pax coming back can mumble chatter, cheer on other pax, plank, al gore… etc.

Hello Dolly
Groiners
Gorilla Humpers
Wheel of Merkins
Burpees

Run lap (or 2) – stop at wall for:

10 mike tysons

Line up on goal line – team up
1 pax lunges to 10 & back, other does 200 heal taps
1 pax lunges to 10 & back, other does 200 LBCs
We started on this last one but ran our of time:
1 pax lunges to 10 & back, other does 400 SSH single count

Looking for Psyc – Round 2

Leave a comment

6 strong đź’Ş this morning went for a run to the aquarium. Weather was beautiful – 40’s but was not cold at all. A lot of people out running on the trail and we joined them. Warm-up was quick, and Grappler came in hot at the end of the warmup to join us for the run. Pace to the aquarium was faster than the last time we did this. We got to the aquarium at 618am did some squats and took off back for the AO. It was great.

Warmup:
Sun Gods
Tea Pots
Cherry Pickers

The thang:
Run to aquarium
Stop a few times for some SSH
Stop to check out the inspiration for the F3 Monterey logo
At aquarium check out where the RV rammed the wall (it’s boarded up now.)
Squats IC with some Al Gores
Run back to beach
Wall sits and planks
Mosey back to AO start, LBCs to finish it up

Park it

Leave a comment

4 strong đź’Ş this morning. Weather was clear and a little chilly – temperatures in the 40’s. We are back to dark skies in the morning due to the time change over the weekend. YHC was almost late to Q the workout pulling in with about 1 minute to spare.

Warm up:
Tea Pots & Cherry Pickers… that’s it… time to mosey.

The Thang:
Run to the municipal parking garage. Run to the top up all the ramps.
Pair up.
One pax does hello dollies, the other does feel the Bern up the ramp, does 10 squats, runs back. Switch places. First team to 200 hello dollies calls it.
Repeat for 300 LBCs.
Repeat for 400 Mtn. Climbers
Run down the stairs of parking garage, then back up. Run down the other stairs, back up, and down again.
Run to beach, some all sits & planks. Great to look at the horizon as the sun begins to rise.

    Welcome FNG “Big Johnson”

    Leave a comment

    An amazing day out. No gloom here. Mid fifties and sunny.


    We borrowed F3 Hampton Roads idea of a special log to commemorate a members 50th post. They call their’s Lady Glitter Sparkels. The premise is that if the post hits the ground during the beat down everyone does 5 burpees.

    Warm Up
    5 Tea Pots
    10 Finkle Swings (Leg swings)
    15 Cherry pickers
    20 SSHs
    25 LBCs
    20 IW
    15 heel raises
    10 Rowers
    5 Burpees

    Ceremony to introduce Lady Glitter Sparkles to the Pax and D.P.R. Pax immediately renamed her “Big Johnson.”

    1 tip: You are the Q (or the leader) of the post and it’s never truly “On your Own” with F3.

    The Thang:
    Run to top of hill – SSH until LGS arrives
    Run to corner – Al Gore until LGS arrives
    Run to curbs – Plank until LGS arrives
    At Curbs: 10 Hello Dollies / 10 Mike Tysons (Bench press LGS?) then 9,8,7….
    At Curb: 10 rowers (leg raises with LGS?) / 10 Arm Presses while wall sitting (Curls for the Girls with LGS?)
    At Curb: 10 LBCs (LBCs with LGS) / 10 Squats…. (partner up – squats with LGS – one holds each end?)
    Run to mid school – SSH while wait for LGS
    Run to hill by football field – do a few Bernie Sanders back up the hill.
    Run to field

    Goal line – partner up
    1 pax Kareokes to 30 does 10 shoulder taps (runs back) while other pax does 1000 dying cock roaches – first team calls it.

    Credit goes to D.P.R. who did not let BJ hit the ground once during the beatdown.
